Im writing an essay about the emergence in of rock and roll music and i need a third body paragraph. My two other topics are that rock was popular with teenagers and that music producers wanted to release albums that appealed to both blacks and white. i need a third one. please help.

Because it simulates sex. The "rocking" back and forth. The driving beats. People liked Elvis Presley up there shaking their hips. It was all part of the sexual revolution.

Plus, for the previous 2,000 years, music was mostly just religious in nature. People probably loved hearing songs about fun and hip stuff instead of just praising God.
